You can make a strong case, using the example of France, that this is the way to go. Neo-Nazism is banned in France; France has a huge neo-Nazi problem. Because you can’t actually ban ideas even if you wanted to, and by forcing these groups underground, you play to their victimhood narrative and allow them to fester…

You get that statistically this is simply untrue, right?

I don’t think it’s about hating the Warriors. I think it’s about being concerned that everyone already knows the two Finals teams, today. That’s not a good thing for the league. Competitive balance is a real problem.

I am permanently mystified by how many gamers seem to treat hating consoles before they launch as a competition.

How on earth could you possibly know that?

I love coming to Kotaku’s comments section when there’s big video game news to read huge video game fans talk about how everything sucks and how every video game will be lame and bad.

Does someone want to inform the relentlessly partisan Democrat readership of Deadspin that the Democrats are not a pro-labor party?

President Pence is going to be so much worse.

We really need an independent media that both confronts Donald Trump and is skeptical of Democrats and the CIA. Unfortunately, we’re not getting the latter at all right now.

Albert you realize that you’re stanning for the worldview that insists we have to credulously swallow the stories of the CIA, literally one of the most dishonest and corrupt organizations in human history, right.

Actually, Hillary’s biggest problem in the Rust Belt was the failure of voters of color to turn out in the same numbers as they did in 08 and 12, presumably because Democrats did not offer them a platform worth supporting.

All of that works as an identical rationale for Wikileaks to publish the Podesta emails. It’s the exact same rationale.

Not just the government, but the intelligence services. The CIA is one of the most brutal, dishonest, corrupt organizations in the history of the world, yet this guy thinks it’s wrong for Glenn Greenwald to expect evidence for extraordinary claims.

That’s a fake account.

Yes, asking for a single piece of evidence - literally on piece of evidence about the hacking story - of the agencies responsible for installing the Shah and Augusto Pinochet is conspiracy theorizing. Lord knows, we should take every statement by our intelligence services at face value, given their unparalleled…

Here is a thread where Libby Watson makes the case against publishing this story very well. Journalists have a responsibility to ensure the credibility of their own reporting. That can’t be the public’s job.

Well, you can argue there’s precedent - if fighters fail to make weight they are often forced to give up a significant portion of their purse to the other fighter because of the advantages of fighting heavier than the contracted weight class. PEDs would presumably offer an even greater advantage.

Even if it’s someone like Ti-Grace Atkinson, Shuli Firestone, or Jo Freeman saying that?

I had to read the headline three times to understand it but now that I do I love it.

I am again amazed at Gizmodo’s ability to turn issues that have always been bipartisanly terrible and turn them into a Trump-specific issue. Are you under the impression that Democrats have been good for nuclear policy? Really?
